Hi All, Wilson is 18 months old now and makes an absolute racket in the car. He whimpers, whinges, squeals and makes a hell of a lot of noise. He...
I hope today goes as well as it can for you and your family. You’ve made a responsible decision as an pet owner, and these are often the most...
Thanks Joy, appreciate you sharing your experience. Jealous of your retirement I must confess! Ive looked at an array of blinking light up thinks...
I echo the above comments and concur with all of your experiences so far. It is hard work and I’ll admit so much harder than we realised. We are...
Hi All Autumn is on its way and in England the evenings are already getting darker. This is our first winter with our Lab and I’ve started...

@orangelizzy we’ve got a 11 month old Lab and two cats (5years and 3 years) who are at varying stages of ‘friendship’ with one another - remember...

Hi Catherine, Has your pup ever consistently slept through the night? It’s not clear from your message. Also, what prompted you to remove the...
After some advice before I take the ‘nuclear option’ of stopping greetings all together with one particular beloved friend... Wilson is 10 months...
@SarahJJ & @Shilyer Please don’t worry! Pippa’s post is about encouraging people to feel brave enough to let them off when they’re so tiny that...
